High-Frequency Materials - Rogers Laminates, Do You Know Their Application Fields?

Rogers laminates are high-performance laminated materials with various models suitable for different application scenarios. The following is information about the parameters of Rogers laminates:

High-Frequency Performance

Rogers laminates exhibit excellent dielectric properties and can withstand high-frequency signal transmission. For example, RO3203 has a dielectric constant of 3.02 and can be used in the frequency range up to 40GHz. RO3206 and RO3210 have dielectric constants of 6.15 and 10.2 respectively, making them suitable for frequency ranges above 20GHz.

Material Composition

Rogers laminates typically consist of ceramic-filled and woven glass fabric-reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) laminates. These materials feature low loss, high impedance matching, and high signal transmission speed.

Physical Properties

The physical properties of Rogers laminates include good mechanical performance such as high strength, high rigidity, heat resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. The thickness of the laminates ranges from 0.003 inches to 0.240 inches, with copper foil thickness options of 0.5oz, 1oz, 2oz, and 3oz. Surface treatment methods include chemical gold plating, silver plating, and tin plating.

Application Range

Rogers laminates are widely used in fields such as wireless communication, satellite communication, radar, and microwave communication. They are applied in the manufacturing of high-frequency circuit boards, including high-frequency antennas, power amplifiers, filters, couplers, and dividers.

Flame Retardancy and Environmental Standards

Rogers laminates have a UL94V-0 flame retardant rating and comply with environmental protection standards.

Thermal Performance

Rogers laminates have a thermal coefficient and can be used within different temperature ranges. For instance, RT/duroid 5870 is applicable in the temperature range from -50°C to 150°C.

Electrical Properties

The electrical properties of Rogers laminates include parameters such as volume resistivity, surface resistance, Young's modulus, hygroscopicity, thermal conductivity, and peel strength.

In summary, Rogers laminates are high-performance laminated materials with excellent dielectric, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, making them suitable for high-frequency circuit board applications.

How to solder the flexible PCB board?

  Before soldering, apply flux to the pad and treat it with a soldering iron to avoid poor tin plating or oxidation of the pad, resulting in poor soldering. Generally, the chip does not need to be processed. Use tweezers to carefully place the PQFP chip on the PCB board, taking care not to damage the pins. Make it aligned with the pad and ensure that the chip is placed in the correct direction. Adjust the temperature of the soldering iron to more than 300 degrees Celsius, dip a small amount of solder on the tip of the soldering iron, press down the aligned chip with a tool, and add a small amount of solder to the two diagonal pins. Hold down the chip and solder the pins on the two diagonal positions to make the chip fixed and unable to move. After soldering the opposite corners, recheck the alignment of the chip position. If necessary, adjust or remove and realign the position on the PCB board. When starting to solder all the pins, add solder to the tip of the soldering iron, and a...

How is the cost of SMT patch soldering calculated

The calculation of SMT patching prices is now almost transparent, and the algorithm for determining the cost per point is straightforward. However, it is first necessary to clarify the concept of "point". Different companies adopt varying algorithms, but for a PCB board, the total cost of SMT patching processing remains consistent. The core of SMT patching processing is to mount surface - mount components onto the solder pads of a PCB. Some companies count one solder pad as one point, while others consider two solder pads as one point. In this article, we take the example of calculating one point per solder pad. It only requires calculating all the solder pads on the PCB board. However, for some special components such as inductors, large capacitors, ICs, etc., additional calculations are needed. The specific empirical methods are as follows: for example, an inductor can be counted as 10 points, and an IC is calculated as half the number of pins (for example, a 40 - pin IC is...

How can we identify Integrated Circuits board and PCBA

  Inspect the surface of the PCB component body If a used  circuits board   part has been polished to make it look new, there may be tiny scratch patterns on the surface when observed under a magnifier. If it is covered up with paint on the surface, it will look bright and have no plastic texture. Inspect the printed text High-quality producers use laser printers to print the text silk-screen. It has a clear appearance, is non-conspicuous, and is difficult to erase. Typically, the text on refurbished chips is printed fuzzy and is not as sharp. You may find that the edges of the characters are blurred. The characters may be offset and the shades and colors may not be uniform. Moreover, many re-furbished chips use stencils for re-printing. In this case, if you feel the printed text, it should be easy to tell if it is new or refurbished. Inspect component pins If the component pins are shiny with a thin coating, then it may be refurbished. Original components are tin plated,...
